A co-presentation of Laguna Beach Live! and the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, the Laguna Beach Music Festival is an annual multi-day celebration featuring outstanding classical and contemporary concerts in intimate spaces, community outreach programs and dynamic special events.

Thank you to all who joined us at Mozambique for the three entertaining and educational sessions included in the “All that Jazz Seminar Series”.

In this series our hosts, Steve Wade, Music and Jazz Director LBUSD, and Joey Sellers, Director of Jazz Studies at Saddleback College, guided us through the history of jazz from its beginnings to the present. We learnt how jazz is performed, using live demonstrations of the music and how it is created. The excellent music presenters illustrated the techniques and rules associated with jazz music and how musicians make their spontaneous choices of rhythms and notes.
